Three Substantial soups.

Beef Sculptor a family of five or six
persons, take piece of beef weighing from
three to four pounds with slice of liver,
which lmparts a certain richness to the
soup, and plenty of bones. Should mar
row bones be used, extract all the marrow
from them, as that will make the soup too
greasy. If it is desired to eat the meat
after the soup, set it ON in twice as much
hot water as you wish to have soup. The
reason for using hot water is that the action
OF the heat causes the pores of the meat to
close, leaving it jucier than when cold water
is used. Just before The soup gets ready to
boil, thick scum will rise on the top of it
remove this carefully with q skinner.
After II has begun to boil, put in an onion,
half a large carrot, few sticks of celery,
some parsley one tomato, and a small
tablespoonful of salt. Sometimes a bay
Leaf, and some cloves and peppercorns are
added; but one should consult ones taste
before using these spices. prefer the soup
without them. Time to boil. three hours

able taste to the soup. Take half cupful
of barley, choose neither the coarsest nor
the finest, but the quality between the two.
Put the barley in a bowl, pour hot water
on it. stir with a teaspoon and pour the
water off with the particles that float to
the top; repeat, if necessary. Then put
the barley into larger vessel, strain some
of the soup over it, cut up TWO potatoes,
and if agreeable to taste cut up a eek into
half-inch pieces, and boil the barley for an
hour. The meat should be eaten with a
mustard or caper sauce.
Potato Soup.-Here are two different
ways of making potato soup: One way is
to crack all the bones that are left over
from roasts, etc, boil them for several
hours, and then strain into another vessel
Peel the potatoes, cut them in quarters and
boil them in the broth made of the bones
add leek cut into half-inch pieces, and
some celery and parsley; melt some beef
drlppings into saucepan, put in two
tablespoonfuls of flour, stir until free from
Jumps, pour into the soup and allow it to
boil up again. Another way to make the
soup is to peel, wash and boil the potatoes
with an onion in very little water until
soft then pass through colander, put in
large lump Of butter, some parsley chop
ped fine, and pepper and salt to suit the
taste; add enough milk to the potatoes to
make the soup not too thick, and, if you
have il, half teasponful of meat extract.
Boil up once and serve with croutons.-

brought in battery, attached to which

might well desire to submit to the ordeal,
for on her upper lip was decidedly I'M

nice-looking creature, with an olive skin
and piquant features. The operator placed
the handle of the machine in one of her
hands, and told her to grip it steadily.
That was to keep up current through her

He fixed magnifyine glass in his eye,

HANNIBAL HAMLIN-Hanni Hamlin

HANNIBAL HAMLIN.-Hannibal Hamlin
is not man Of wealth. No Doodle has
ever stuck TO his hands. He lives plainly,
unostentatiously. On every public occa-
sion on which he appears he is plainly the
favorite, if cheers and hearty greeting mean
anything. He is seen in the streets OF
Bangor on the coolest day of winter in his
clawhammer coat, without the unnecessary
adjunct of an overcoat He walks miles at
a stretch with the alacrity of boy, Just for
constitutional He is found in the
huts of the poor and humble smoking an
old T. D. pipe in company with the head
of the household. He knows everybody
and everybody knows him. On the load of
the lumberman he is often seen mounted,
chatting merrily with the driver, who is so
proud of his companionship that he will
talk about it for years afterward. He never
forgets a face, and rarely name, and gen.
orally can tell you more of your family
history than you know yourself. His chief
relaxation is fishing. He employs the old
fashioned angle worm for bait, and dis
cards all new-fangled appliances for cap
turing the finny tribe. He is exceedingly
gay in the ballroom. at the Legislative
reunion last winter he participated in every
dance on the order, and then went home in
the morning with the prettiest girl on the
floor-Port{dad Press

THE DATE OF DEATH.-M Meguin claims
to be able to determine the date OF death by
studying the generations of acarina which
have been at work upon the body. Brou-
ardel produced the cadaver of young wo-
man before the French Academy of Medi-
cine, which had lain in cellar for a year.
He was able to trace five different species
of acarina, and the order of succession and
duration of each species. One specie con-
sumes the fatty acids, another absorbs the
fluids, and each dies when its work is ended.
The period of life of each in summer is from
six to eight weeks. In case of murder in
which the remains of the victim were dis
covered in a garden, Meguin was able to es-
tablish the date of burial with great accura-
cy. The value of these observations and de-
auctions. if confirmed, cannot be overesti-
mated as barely month passes without the
discovery of murdered body. aud in the
course of the prosecution the probable date
of death is always an important factor So
far as we know no one has taken up this
work of Meguin, Brouardel and Labouthene
in this country, yet it would seem that no
field offers more inducements to the med
ico-legal expert than the one just opened by
these enterprising French savants.-Scieace

The Messrs. Herter are finishing the
largest mosaic which has ever been made
on this side of the Atlantic, for the arch in
the great entrance hall of the Equitable
Building. Mr.. Francis Lathrop. who
changed the decorations in the Metropol-
itan Opera House and designed the Apollo
above the proscenium arch, is the author
OF this remarkable piece of work. The
center is occupied by group, consisting of
draped woman with two draped chill
dren, who cling to her lovingly. They
filling the upper section of the arch. To
right and left are nude heroic figures
OF warriors, Greek in spirit, one holding
sword, the other leaning on a spear.
The mosaic is at present visible only from
behind, since the face of the stones are
temporarily embedded in a fixutive, and
when the mosaic is erected at the
Equitable will be reversed. Hence certain
portions composed of glass mosaic, the
faces OF which are gold, do not tell for that
value on the reverse. The greater part,
however, is built of small cubes of marble
agreeable in tone and cleverly managed
SO as to produce their effect with the
broadness and simplicity required of
this kind of work. Mr.. Lathrop has
hit the mean very well between the
rudeness of the Roman pavement
mosaics, together with those of later
date preserved at Ravenna and the
modern demand for greater care
in the drawing. The modelling is
very simple, the figures statuesque, the
draperies of the central group not elabora-
ted, the expressions resolute, but not
forced. One OF the legs of the guardian
sololers looks little wrong in foreshol ten
ing, but, when in place considerably above
the spectators eye and reversed, this may
not be the defect 1t looks at closer quar-
tiers. The border that outlines the
sweep of the arch in this fine piece
of work is wrought in jade green
marble, and the pattern is somewhat
like that of the border ON the cover of the
new Scrt6ners Magazine Along with Mr.
Lathrop's decorations in stained glass on
the barrel vault of the great hail. the effect
of this great mosaic cannot fail to be excel
lent.

FROZEN MUTTON FROM THE FALKLAND
lsLANDs.-The frozen meat trade is assum-
ing great proportions in England. A cargo
which recently arrived at the East India
docks, in London, consisted OF over 10000
frozen carcasses of mutton in excellent
condition. This contribution to the food
supply of London came from the Falkland
Islands, where there are now more than
100000 sheep. The London Times saws
The carcasses brought over are described
as being those of sheep Of prime Canter-
bury type, well fieshed, and with no su-
perfiuous wasteful fat, and they average
from sixty 10 seventy pounds each Sales
have been effected of portions of the cargo
at over 81 per pound" The colonists
have hitherto contented themselves with
what they could realize from the wool,
skin and tallow TO be obtained from their
sheep, but now, in consequence of this
most recent development in refrigerating
machinery, by means of cold, dry air, they
will be able to send their mutton to the
English market, not only to their own adj
vantage, but also to that of the consumers
over there; and there appears to be every
reason to expect that the enterprise which
has been entered into in so practical a man.

Hairs uprootea with an Electric Needle

The stories told of artificial improve
ment in faces are often lies; and. of course,
no great amount of painting and powder
ing can be done deceptively; but it is a
positive fact that science has applied itself
to the removal of hair from feminine faces.
No less an authority than DR.. Shrady. who
was one OF Grants physicians, put me in
the way of gratifying my curiosity. He
said that women had their mustaches de-
stroyed by electricity; that an illustration
of the process was to be giyen within few
days before class at the women's college.

sion become student. Invent. The class

PHosPHoREscENT BIRDs.-A correspond
ent of the Scientific american relates the
following: In reading of the habits of
the wading birds, and particularly of the
crane, do not find that naturalists give
any account of their manner of attracting
their prey at night. My attention was
called to the matter while gigging for fish,
by frequently observing dim phosphoric
lights appear and disappear along the
shore like jack o'lanterns, which 1 for
long time supposed them to be. On one
occasion | fired at such light, and
brought down large blue crane, on which
the phosphoric spots were clearly visible
after death. There are two such spots, the
larger being high up on the breast and the
smaller at The bottom of the breast bone,
the bird having power to reveal and con-
ceal them at will. ! have since stuffed
many of the water walkers, and find that
all have the same general arrangement of
the feathers, and, as l believe, the same
power of tightening up the water to attract
the fish. Will some naturalist who is
posted on this subject please throw some
further light upon it for the benefit of
science?"

y,..,-.,rp, RIVER convention.

COMES OF the following circular have
been received in this city
The division of the MISSISSIPPI river
between the months OF the Des MONIES
and Illinois rivers. having been IN no.
toriously unfavorablc condition for the
purpose of navigation Tor the past TWO
wears, il has been deemed advisable l"
call a river convention, Ia he held IN the
assembly rooms of the Young Mems Bus
mess association in z nncy, on Thurs
day. October 18Th, 1887, the object OF
which will be- 10 CONSIDER the condition OF
this passage in the Mississippi, and to
perfect plans for making such permanent
improvements as will afford relief to the
steamboatmen and will generally revive
the transportation by water, which Is m
important means nf sustaining the trade
and commercial prosperity of all river
communities
During the past two years the shipping
interests have suffered severely by the
impsssable state Of the river for steam
boats of the average draught, and MS a
consequence heavy losses have been en-
tailed upon AL who lave been engaged in
river transportation, and a discouraging
depression in trade has been felt as an
attendant result in all of the river towns,
The great cause of such state of
affairs in this district has been the lack
of sufficient appropriations for the en-
gineers in charge to carry forward the
work of river improvement in the thors
ough manner which has been plainly de-
manded by all of the eXlgencies Of the
case. The stage of water at all points
above and below the district mentioned
has been more abundant, and ii surer and
safer channel has been secured for steam
boatmen, for the reason that The engl
neers in charge Of these sections OF the
river have had ample funds for their OPP,
erations, and this district has remained
in an unfavorable condition on account
OF mesgre appropriations
Hence the necessity for the convention
is very apparent, and it is hoped 10y II
united expression and concerted action
our case NAV be clearly represented al
the next session OF congress, and that
appropriations ample in all respects for
the needs of the engineers in this district
may be secured.
Assuming that You are favorable to
the objects of the convention. and that
you are willing to contribute your ibflu
ence and abilities to promote lis success,
your presence is earnestly and respectful
ly solicited The convention will be
called to order at y O'Clock on the day
specified.
